Re: Charset (Struts and Velocity)
Hi Nathan, the VelocityViewServlet (largely in the interest of compatibility with VelocityServlet) does take the output.encoding property into account, but only if there is no charset specified within the default.contentType property. Didn't know that. Maybe it needs to get it the docs. :) ## Or is it already there? no, i don't think it's documented anywhere. any good idea for where such a note should go? I would definitely want one in the VVS javadoc and/or view tool top page. Would it be comfortable in the Velocity developer guide?

Re: Charset (Struts and Velocity)
Hi Markos, It's all Java stuff. Java stores data in memory as Unicode, so everything going into Java must be converted into Unicode. Currently, there is no way Java can tell whether a file is ascii or Greek or Japanese or whatever. So, you have to Unicode escape the files. native2ascii makes life a bit easier. ;) Ok this is true, and maybe we are getting a bit out of topic but, why cant I just save the file in UTF-8 format? Isn't that unicode? :/ The quick answer is, because that's how it's implemented. Also, while searching for a solution I came across the load(InputStream) method of java.util.Properties which has the value of charset hardcoded to 8859_1 which made me wonder... But I guess you already know that... So you see, although Java internally uses unicode, Properties only accepts ascii files for external storage. Of course, you always have the choice to hack Struts. ;) Best regards, -- Shinobu -- Shinobu Kawai [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: lost '#'s inside #literal()/#end
Hi Geoffrey, I am using VTL (with VPP) to customize a portion of a Perl script. Since Perl code has a lot of dollar signs, I am using #literal()/#end to prevent Velocity from processing most of the file. What I find is that single '#' characters that are not followed by alpha text are removed (inside #literal()/#end). ## snip Any suggestions (I'd be happy to try patching the Velocity source, but I had trouble making heads or tails of the parser engine)? I haven't the time right now to look into this, but you might want to file a bugzilla issue so it doesn't get forgotten. ## Actually, I didn't realize there was such a directive until now. I think we also need documentation. :) Best regards, -- Shinobu -- Shinobu Kawai [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

graphs using velocity

Re: graphs using velocity
Hi prasad, Can anybody tell me way to generate graphs using velocity. In my project i need to generate all types of graphs using my database I am using Turbine framework and torque for database and velocity as template engine. What kind of graph did you have in mind? If the format is not text, chances are that you won't be able to use Velocity for it.

Re: graphs using velocity
Hi, I have a Velocity based web application that includes graphs. I don't use velocity to generate graphs, I use a third party graphing app. My web page includes a img tag with a special URL which displays a JPEG or GIF graph. There's a couple of different libraries that can generate the graphs. You might try JFreeChart if you're looking for a free library. Personally, I really like the commercial but inexpensive package KavaCharts (includes both server and client side components). There's also a number of much more expensive server-side tools.

Re: graphs using velocity
PS. One nice way Velocity can help with graphs is through macros. If you end up with a long complicated img url to generate a graph, abstract this with a macro. Our Velocity-based system has a number of graph related macros. http://www.forio.com/broadcastdocs/creating_interfaces/how_to_create_graphs.htm For example, in our system the macro #LineGraph ([Revenue, Costs] 400 300) generates the text img src=graph?FD_rand=1861FD_graph=1VariableName=RevenueVariableName=CostsWidth=400Height=300 width=400 height=300 which instructs our custom-written graph servlet to generate a graph of the variables revenue and costs over time (in a GIF image sized 400x300).

I have seen these graphs but where i will get these macros, is it inbuild in velocity engine? or i have to embeed it from outside. how to build these varibles . --- Will Glass-Husain [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: PS.
